Aponogeton bernerianus is an aquatic plant found in eastern Madagascar. It has a thick tuber or rhizome, with long, strap-shaped leaves that are dark green in color. The plant produces spikes of white flowers with 6 stamens and 3-4 carpels. It is difficult to maintain in an aquarium and requires specific ecological conditions, such as soft and cool water with strong movement. The plant grows in rivers and streams with fast-flowing water and can tolerate both shady and sunny locations. During the dry season, it can be found in shallow, clear water, but during the wet season, it rests in deeper, turbid water. There are two known forms of this plant, one with narrow leaves and one with wide leaves. Flowering can occur throughout the year.
